Infinity Pool, the latest feature from Brandon Cronenberg (Possessor, Antiviral), is fully financed and set to go into production in September.
U.S.-based distributor Neon and Topic Studios are co-financing and executive producing the sci-fi thriller, with Telefilm and the Croatian Film Fund also co-financing. The project is structured as an international coproduction with Canada, Hungary and Croatia. It will shoot in Budapest, Hungary and the coast of Croatia.
On the production side, Karen Harnisch and Andrew Cividino of Film Forge, Noah Segal and Christina Piovesan of Elevation Pictures, and Rob Cotterill are producing, with Budapest-based Daniel Kresmery and Jonathan Halperyn co-producing for Hero Squared and Anita Juka for 4 Film.
Tom Quinn, Jeff Deutchman, and Emily Thomas will serve as executive producers for NEON, Michael Bloom, Maria Zuckerman and Ryan Heller for Topic Studios, and Hengameh Panahi and Charlotte Mickie for Celluloid Dreams.
In Canada, the project will be released by Elevation, while Neon will release the film stateside. A release date has not been set.
Panahi of Celluloid Dreams brokered the deal between NEON and the producers.
Starring Alexander Skarsgård, Infinity Pool tells the story of a young, wealthy couple who go on vacation to an all-inclusive resort only to discover that something dangerous and seductive awaits beyond the hotel gates. Skarsgård is also an EP on the project.
For Cronenberg, the project comes on the heels of his critically acclaimed psychological horror feature Possessor, a Canada/U.K. coproduction released in 2020. That project was also released in the U.S. by NEON, which has burrowed further into production over the past 18 months after launching four years ago. In addition to Infinity Pool, NEON’s upcoming slate also includes David Cronenberg’s Crimes of the Future, Canada/Greece coproduction from Robert Lantos’ Serendipity Point Films and Athens-based Argonauts Productions.
